Rupture of the shoulder rotator cuff
The rotator cuff is a name for the four tendons that surround and move the shoulder, which, together, form a uniform spherical structure around the shoulder.
Rupture of the rotator cuff surrounding the shoulder joint is a fairly common injury in people over 50 years of age. In working-age people, the cuff is slightly more easily injured, for example, in situations where the upper limb is extended under the body when falling. Another typical injury mechanism is a sudden jerk, for example, when grasping a railing when falling down a staircase.
